The World According to Agnès Varda: Recent and Restored Work
Leave it to the auspicious folks at LACMA to put on a program with the incomparable Agnès Varda, a bright spot in the world of cinema for now on six decades. This program is in conjucture with the show Agnès Varda in Californialand, which is the first time the Frenchwoman's art has been presented in a U.S. museum. But what are some of the film highlights?
There are recent and well known works that blur the lines between fiction and reality such as The Gleaners And I, as well as The Beaches Of Agnès. Then there are two films she made right here in California: Lions Love (... And Lies) is her first ever American feature, which charts the post-1968 days of the bohemian counter culture of the time. Next up is her film about her Uncle Yanco, a Bay area hippie.
The program starts October 25th. Click here for more details.
Kris Kristofferson: A Cowboy In Hollywood
Looking into November, The Cinefamily has a sure-fire win with their celebration of all things Kris Kristofferson. First up, it's an evening with the man himself, which is memeber's only, but still worth mentioning as there are likely Cinefamily members out there. Some highlights throughout the month include Pat Garret And Billy The Kid, Cisco Pike and Heaven's Gate. Get the full deets right here.
